The Guam Chamber of Commerce

Throughout the world people have awakened to the importance of the system of free enterprise - a system of private individuals working in the freedom of the market place in competition with each other, creating wealth and employment, for society and providing the basis for stability. The private sector must find solutions for society’s needs. Proposals to encourage and enable more Guamanians to work, prosper, save, invest and realize their ambitions can only come from an organization that is free from bureaucracy and where every member has a say.

The Guam Chamber is such an organization. It is a voluntary organization. Strong because of an extensive membership, united in its goals of advancing the general welfare and prosperity of Guam, and guided by its Code of Ethics. With only a small staff, it has no bureaucracy to strangle proposals, but rather encourages membership input.

Businesses sometimes fail to recognize the fact that the Chamber of Commerce is their salesman and watchdog - unceasingly promoting their products and services while at the same time protecting their interests. This is particularly important in the political arena, where a single voice can go unheard, but the collective, united voice of the Chamber of Commerce has often proven effective and beneficial to business.

I wish to express my deep appreciation for allowing me to serve you, your business and the Board of Directors of the Guam Chamber of Commerce. Each year, the Chamber sets out to ensure that efforts to bring about positive growth are done with the best interest of the community in mind. Your hard working Board of Directors and dedicated Chamber staff are determined to keep your voices heard and to educate you about all the programs and resources right here within your Chamber membership that can help your business be more successful.

One of the goals this year is to corral our resources to keep the island economic engine running where businesses can be profitable and every day citizens can live comfortably.

The Chamber of Commerce is the vehicle through which businesses and professionals can work together for the common good of the community. We invest our energy to tackle the challenges that all communities face. This year is no different; we will continue to be visible and will quickly disseminate information important to you. We will also continue our efforts to communicate your business needs by involving our government official’s and their staff in Chamber committee’s and other Chamber programs.

The community and businesses depend upon our insight and knowledge to lead and take positions on issues which at times may appear unpopular but are morally right. We will continue to do so. We will not abandon our moral compass in favor of blind support of initiatives. We will challenge, probe and debate so that the best interest of the community is represented.

Growth and prosperity on Guam are up to you. Your idea’s, drive and efforts fuel our success. Please get involved with the Guam Chamber of Commerce – come to the events – attend committee meetings – chime in on issues – support other businesses and be a part of the community. It will be rewarding and most importantly we need your help. Let’s make 2011 the best year ever.

Welcome to the 2011 Guam Chamber of Commerce Membership Directory! With over 400 of our local member businesses listed, we hope you will find this valuable resource useful as you do business and network with businesses in Guam.

A new and exciting feature in our directory is the addition of Quick Response (QR) Codes for each of our members. A Quick Response Code, popularly know as a QR Code, is a specific type of 2-Dimensional barcode that can be scanned using a smart phone. When scanned, the QR Code may direct the user to a URL, internet site, or other web content. In regards to the Chamber’s Directory, each Member Company will have its own QR Code that when scanned will link to the Company’s website or will provide a pop-up of the company’s contact information, similar to an electronic business card. It is another innovative way to network and get to know our members.

The goal of the Guam Chamber of Commerce is to improve the quality of life of all who call Guam their home by creating a strong business environment through advocacy, communication, education and promoting the ‘Hafa Adai’ spirit. The directory serves as an important tool to accomplish these goals.

On behalf of my Board of Directors and Staff, we hope that the 2011 Member Directory meets all your business and networking needs. We look forward to meeting you in person at our monthly General Membership luncheons, mixers, our Chamber sponsored events throughout the year and online at http://www.GuamChamber.com.gu

GUAM U.S.A.

Guam, officially the U.S. Territory of Guam, is located in the Western Pacific Ocean and is an organized unincorporated territory of the Unites States, a status dating to the culmination of the Spanish-American War in 1898. It is a U.S. community protected by the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Dollar is our basic currency. The Internal Revenue Code is our income tax law.

Guam possesses a strategic location in the Pacific Rim. The island is the “Gateway to Asia” and is the closest U.S. possession to the Asian theater. Its location facilitates access to and from major Asian markets by being only three to four hours flying time to Japan, Korea, Okinawa, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and the Philippines. America’s trading partners in Asia are the key markets for Guam’s tourism industry, the island’s economic mainstay. Guam’s Tumon Bay is home to elegant world class hotels and diverse international cuisine that can compete among the finest of any metropolis.
